Ingredients
- 2 cups of white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
- About one medium banana, mashed into a cup
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ tsp banana extract (optional, but it makes the banana flavor stronger)
- ¼ tsp salt
- Toppings you can add: crushed vanilla wafers, banana chips, or a drizzle of melted white chocolate
Tools You Will Need
- A medium-sized saucepan
- Spatula
- 8 by 8 inch baking dish
- Paper made of parchment
- Knife to cut
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Get the chocolate to melt.
Put white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth.
2. Add the banana and the extracts.
Take off the heat and mix in the mashed banana, vanilla extract, banana extract (if using), and salt until everything is well mixed.
3. Put it in the pan.
Put parchment paper in an 8×8-inch baking dish, then spread the fudge out evenly.
4. Put on the toppings.
For more flavor and crunch, add crushed vanilla wafers or banana chips on top.
5. Chill and set.
Put it in the fridge for at least two hours or until it gets hard.
6. Slice and serve.
Lift the fudge out with the parchment paper once it has set, cut it into squares, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Use bananas that are very ripe! Your fudge will taste better and sweeter the riper the banana is.
- Don’t let the chocolate get too hot. White chocolate burns quickly, so use low heat and stir it all the time.
- Allow it to fully set. For the best texture, chill for at least two hours before cutting.
- Break your vanilla wafers into small pieces. You want more than just crumbs; you want a little crunch.
- Add some extra flair! For a gourmet touch, drizzle melted white chocolate or caramel on top.
- If you don’t want dairy, use coconut condensed milk and dairy-free white chocolate.
- For a warm banana bread flavor, add ½ tsp of cinnamon.
- Add crushed pecans or walnuts to make it crunchy.
- If you want it to be sweeter, stir in some peanut butter or Nutella before putting it in the fridge.
- Put it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Want to keep it for longer? You can freeze the fudge for up to three months. Before serving, let it thaw.
That’s all there is to it; your Banana Fudge is ready to eat! It’s sweet, creamy, and tastes like bananas in every bite. Give it a try, snap a picture, and tell me how it went. Enjoy your snacks! 🍌✨
